I was pleased to see US President Donald Trump defeated in his bid to replace President Obama’s Affordable Care Act with some half-baked scheme of his own. Millions more Americans would have been denied proper health care if he had succeeded.

Mr. Trump has not managed to get his travel ban through either – and I hope in due course that the authorities will tell him where he can shove his idea for a proposed wall across the Mexican border.

There is growing support for the idea that Michelle Obama should stand against him at the next Presidential Election in 2020.

The EU refuses to settle a deal on its future relationship with UK until AFTER terms & conditions of leaving are agreed. So eventually Mrs. May will have to ask MPs to approve the agreement-about-leaving without being able to tell them exactly what happens next.
